1 hour has elapsed So you forgot to put the card in? lol I had a similar cam i never managed to change the settings either it wasn't very good quality but it sure was lucky- always seemed to be in the right place and i always wished i'd put the good cam where that one was.
-
I guess the cam is only programable via your computer Ken? Find a wire that works? Good luck.

I used to use quite a few trail cam and covert cams in the UK, I was sticking £250-300 a month on them top-ups. I have used cams from £12 when I bought a box of 25 from china,up to a £500 model with all the bells and whistles including a solar panel charger, they are all much of a muchness to be honest nowadays, the price drops and the tech improves, they have got me out of a few scrapes in the past, its always worthwhile having a few.
By top ups do you mean sim card top ups? I just got one off 1p mobile its £30 for a year and seems to be working (in a security cam) fine.

Great thread- the black led cams are handy when their set where some one might spot a red light.

Thanks, lads. Sadly, I think this one's fukked. Can't blame it. It's being knocking around in a box of bits for decades. Something's probably corroded inside it.
I've been looking at Amazon and these type are mean't to quietly tick? Not a sound.
No matter. I'll get a pair of digital ones, off Amazon.
Fukk me! It's started working!!!
Dunno though. I'm finding it all so fiddly and complicated, I think I still Will get a couple of digital ones. I need two, see? One for my washing machine. Other for my tumble drier.
I want to set them to cheap rate electric. Switch them both on and go to bed. Allow them power later on.
Feck me KD your like the kiss of death to anything electrical! lol

Glad to hear the dog is on the mend
Something I've been meaning to ask on here, has anyone else had trouble with getting a decent fitting tracker collar on lurchers? I used an old sport dog tek one with the skinny saluki x in my avatar (26" and 20kg, so very light even for that type) and even after making extra holes in the collar it bounced around so much when galloping it appeared to be causing bleeding in the oesophagus.
Are the boxes on the newer collars much smaller?
Check out the garmin mini t5 collars

Look up the plotwatcher vids on youtube treefella they're spot on for knowing what times things come along.
-
The sd cards range from 1 to 10 class rating which means their ability to write information to a card so a good card will handle the vids and pics better than a cheap one. Also some cameras just seem to take a dislike lol to certain cards and they do sometimes stop working.Headache yet KD? lol

That's the Catch 22, mate; The cam won't function if they're not on full charge
It's okay. I just bought a cheap torchy thing. Takes three AA's. I've put three in it and left it on. As long as the LED's can out last eight batteries, I'll be sorted
I just wondered if your problem is a dodgy sd card KD? Worth trying a different one perhaps.

I just bought the little acorn (6210) from Pakatak KD. Their real tough things and take 12 batteries so you could leave it set for 6 months easy. If your always setting it near your house the mini acorn (4 batteries)takes better pics and film (dont buy the white light one!!!) read up on the two- the mini acorn needs a seperate screen that you plug into it to adjust settings and see the pics etc.

Noooo! Fox fox was there, tonight. I'm not going anywhere near her earth. With or without food. I know she's somewhere in this copse, because she always takes her chicks there.
Interesting though, how she pops out of one end, to wait for me. Then takes her spoils in at the other end. So, I figure she's denned somewhere in between. None of my business. I'll not go thrashing around in there looking for her.
Interestingly; Tonight she actually Ate a chick! First time I've ever seen her do that. She normally just crams them into her mouth and makes off with them.
I just have to say; Having this absolutely, genuinely wild creature, coming out and waiting for me, in plain view. Then even running up and staring into my eyes from eight foot away? It's fukking amazing!!!
And apologies for losing track of your handle. You are, of course " our master Fox Trail Cammer "
Not a mouthful of your chicks KD? lol

1st rule of trailcaming ~ never eat the mushrooms that grow where you put the chicks out! lol. Seriously though when i put food near an earth for cubs the cubs absolutely love it_ but the vixens...well they kinda know something just isn't right and often move the cubs that night.

Cut a square hole in the lower front and fill it with hay for your horse (you may need to get a horse first)

How do you mount/place the cameras so they don't fall over?
The cameras usually come with a strap thats only good for fixing to a tree, i swap the strap for strong line (a furry long net line) and try to put them high out of knockable reach(hide the string ends birds pull them undone). Sheep seem strangely attracted to them i had one they knocked over and still had a thousand pics of sheep looking down into one lol. I sometimes use wires too, the old butterfly wall ties unfolded are perfect when you know their going to get bumped. And if you use nuts or something to attract stuff in the badgers seem to end up rooting under your cam!Over the last year or so ive had one found and stamped on,one found batteries and sd card taken out and three bumped so lots of sky or grass pics-good luck MH1

Ands; Don't know how I missed this. But, hell, yeah! Thanks!
Just been pricing up those rechargeable's they suggest. That made my eyes water. But, when I saw the price if the (Top of the range) Charger?!?
Fukk Me!!!
Then again though; I've just brought in my cam.Second night running it's filmed me, mincing around in front of it, as I put their food down. Then, it gets One more clip. Period!
Now, last night, I tested every fukking battery I have in the place. (That's a Lot!) Three boxes of a dozen or so. All opened. I can only assume then I've used them before and have put them back as they've started failing me?
Yet Two testers are sating these are 'Normal', rather than 'High'. I changed out for a 'new' set of eight 'Normal' batteries, last night. Complete waste of fukking time. (I wish to christ I had something else here that ran on AA's!)
All's said and done though? Looks like I can pay as much, for those batteries and charger, as I could for a cheaper cam? But, buying another cam would solve fukk all.
As that site says, and my bitter experience is showing; Alkaline batteries are a waste of time and money!
Christ, this is gonna bruise the pension! But, needs must
Look up the ikea ladda 2450mh aa rechargeable batteries- they are the boys for the trail cams.I picked one of mine up Saturday -its been set for over 3 months and a hell of a walk out to get it-poxy mountain ponies (i've never seen them that far out before!)had knocked it over fairly soon after i set it(bloody well fixed to with strong wires).Over 7000 photos of-ponies and sky lol
